Psalms 103:22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion (comp. Psalms 19:1-4; Psalms 145:10; Psalms 148:7-13). The "works of God"—i.e. his material universe—cannot, of course, he said to "bless" God in the same sense that men and angels do; but, in a language of their own, they set forth his glory, and to the poetic mind seem truly to sing his praise. The "Song of the Three Children" is a natural outburst from devout hearts. Bless the Lord, O my soul (comp. Psalms 103:1, and the comment ad loc.).
